Louis met her sorrowful gaze and felt a dull pain in his heart. His lips moved as he said softly. “Rachel, listen to my explanation. It’s not what you think…”

“Louis, I thought that, even if we no longer had feelings for each other, we could still preserve some dignity for each other and part on good terms. You knew that I trusted you, relied on you, and treated you as my everything, but you chose to betray me again and again…”

Rachel seemed to have hit the nail on the head. Her cold voice was mixed with heart–wrenching sobs. “I feel that I’m not worthy of you, so I’m trying my best to catch up with you. I don’t care about the Smith’s prejudice against me. You know very well that I’m not coveting the Smith’s wealth. I just want to be with you.”

Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled bitterly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the tears in her eyes. “Forget it. I’ll just treat everything as wishful thinking. From now on, there’s nothing between us!”

Her sobbing voice made everyone present inexplicably worried.

Especially when they saw her lowering her head as if she was trying her best to hold back her tears, it made their heart ache even more.

Little did they know that Rachel was not crying. Instead, she was trying her best to hide her smile.
